My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mom. I remember her laughter. You couldn't help but to laugh with her. You are blessed to have had her with you for so many years. May the good memories bring you comfort during this difficult time. Mary Jo Vent nee Nickels

The sweetest Aunt anyone could ask for. As a child and growing up we enjoyed many good times with her and Uncle Bud. I'm so glad I got to see her the last time I was in MI. Sympathy and love to Tom, Karen, Sue and all the family. You are in our prayers.
